One reporter, the New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta, speculated that Brady’s relationship with Revis has soured ever since the cornerback’s Deflategate remarks from this past offseason. NY is 1-4 during the past five meetings, but each of those games was decided by seven points or fewer.
“He’s obviously a great player”, Gronkowski said. They’ve been a tough challenge for everybody…. “We’re looking forward to the game”.
